Abstract
A hand-held personal defense/police baton comprising an elongated, telescoping main cylinder having an extendable first end and a second end comprising a rounded, shatter-proof light that is secondarily useable for jabbing maneuvers. Proximate the second end is a mushroom-shaped side handle that extends transverse to the main cylinder. The side handle houses a pressurized chemical spray canister operated by a push button and having safety features to prevent accidental discharge. The side handle also has a dome-shaped locking top that conceals the push button and canister, and that may be properly used in striking maneuvers. Multiple embodiments of the closure and lock are disclosed.
Claims17
A hand-held personal defense baton, comprising:
- an elongated, hollow, telescoping, horizontal main cylinder having an extendable first end and a second end comprising a hard, rounded fixture for high-impact police maneuvers;
- and
- a mushroom-shaped side handle extending vertically from said main cylinder, proximate said second end, said side handle having disposed therein a pressurized canister with a fluid projecting nozzle, and a push button that effectuates fluid communication between said pressurized canister and said nozzle, wherein said nozzle expels fluid through a dispensing port in said side handle, said side handle further includes a locking closure top that conceals said canister and one or more ball and socket locking means for locking said closure top.
A hand-held personal defense baton, comprising:
- an elongated, hollow, telescoping, horizontal main cylinder having an extendable first end and a second end comprising a hard, rounded fixture for high-impact police maneuvers;
- and
- a mushroom-shaped side handle extending vertically from said main cylinder, proximate said second end, said side handle having disposed therein a pressurized canister with a fluid projecting nozzle, and a push button that effectuates fluid communication between said pressurized canister and said nozzle, wherein said nozzle expels fluid through a dispensing port in said side handle, said side handle further including a locking closure top that conceals said canister and rails and grooves on which said closure top can slide.
A hand-held personal defense baton, comprising:
- an elongated, hollow, telescoping, horizontal main cylinder having an extendable first end and a second end comprising a light;
- and
- a mushroom-shaped side handle extending vertically from said main cylinder, proximate said second end, said side handle having a pressurized canister comprising a fluid projecting nozzle and a canister push button that effectuates fluid communication between said pressurized canister and said nozzle;
- said side handle further comprising:
- a mounting base adjacent said main cylinder;
- a solid, semi-spherical closure top, opposite said mounting base, said closure top having a curved upper surface, a flat, horizontal lower surface, and a perimeter edge connecting said lower surface to said upper surface;
- a cylindrical collar upon which is seated said closure top;
- a safety mechanism topping said push button to prevent accidental discharge of the contents of said canister;
- side handle stem connecting said collar to said main cylinder, said stem having a cylindrical chamber formed therein to house said canister;
- a dispensing port disposed beneath and adjacent to said cylindrical collar, said port comprising a small hole through a wall portion of said chamber facing said second end of said main cylinder such that said nozzle dispenses a fluid in an essentially horizontal stream and essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said main cylinder;
- said main cylinder further comprises:
- threads formed on said second end of said main cylinder to threadedly receive said light, one of said second end and said light having an externally threaded shank and the other of said second end and said light having internal threads, such that upon mating said second end and said light an outer surface of said light is flush with said main cylinder, said light further comprising:
- a high strength, shatter-proof lens;
- a shock-resistant battery;
- and
- a cylindrical light housing;
- a telescoping extension member protruding from said first end of said main cylinder;
- extension member guide means for stable deployment of said extension member;
- and
- extension member locking means to secure said extension member in at least two positions.
